the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that satisfies the given conditions.
\n" ); document.write( "The graph is perpendicular to the graph of \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+5x+-+1\"-> slope \"m=5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "perpendicular lines have slopes negative reciprocal to each other, so
\n" ); document.write( "perpendicular line will have a slope \"-1%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so far, equation is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%281%2F5%29x%2Bb\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and if passes through the point whose coordinates are
\n" ); document.write( "(\"2\", \"-2\"), we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-2=-%281%2F5%292%2Bb\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-2=-%282%2F5%29%2Bb\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-2%2B%282%2F5%29=b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b=-10%2F5%2B2%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b=-8%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and, equation is: \"y=-%281%2F5%29x-8%2F5\"\r
